These stats allow for the Heavy to be a dangerous force on the battlefield when his Minigun is fully revved up and firing. Paired with a [[Medic]], the Heavy becomes a large threat that is able to soak up loads of damage and deal back just as much. The Minigun itself boasts impressive damage output and many applicable situations to use it in. With all this power comes the cost of being the slowest moving class in the game, making it difficult for the Heavy to be timely with appearing in team fights and being able to be easily outmaneuvered by long range classes and other close range classes.
